Maitland Quitmeyer / BuzzFeed

"A hair dryer is the one item I need to feel flawless. I have a really flat hair and blow drying it is the only way to give it a bit of volume. If don't do it, my whole outfit seems wrong all day." —Erick B.

Over 1,000 Amazon reviewers swear by the Conair 1875 Watt Iconic dryer, which is basically your hair's new BFF. It comes with two heads: one for smooth 'dos and one diffuser head for maximizing the effect of your fave hair product on textured styles. Plus, it has two speeds and three heat settings. Read BuzzFeed's full review here (#10).

This one has adjustable plates to keep you from snagging your precious locks, plus it locks closed and has an auto-shutoff feature for safety. It even comes with two salon clips, because you're basically about to become a hair professional.

"I know tons of people have already raved about it, but as a multiracial woman I can't tell you how good it feels to finally have a foundation that matches my skin tone! Every time I put it on I want to do a little happy dance!" —bbeasl

"I swear by this mascara. No matter how unattractive I feel or how my outfit looks, I can always add this as a sexy pop that will make me feel good. Plus, it's a great product if you're not wearing any other makeup and still want to pull your face together." —rebeccadavidson

"My go-to way to finish any look is a touch of bronzer. I've never been a makeup girl and love going au natural. But when I put a swipe of bronzer across my cheeks, a whole new side of me comes out, like I can rule the world."

Milani Baked Bronzer in "Glow" will make your lovely face do just that. Plus, the compact has a secret mirror compartment that stores a little brush, perfect for doing your face on the fly like the beauty superspy that you are.

"I get gel manicures to make me feel confident and beautiful even if I have on a messy bun and sweats." —shadeofblue

Two coats of Essie Gel Couture polish and the special top coat, and you've got a mani with the look and last of a gel manicure without exposing yourself to a UV lamp. Check out BuzzFeed's full review here.

Get the polish and top coat kit from Amazon for $18.49 (available in four colors).

"I didn’t quite understand the hype initially, because what’s another red lipstick to my makeup bag, but let me tell you, the first time I tried it I totally fell in love! I instantly felt way more powerful, like I could take on the whole world. It makes me feel confident and sexy, and now I look for every excuse to wear it!" —Alex E.

"This dry shampoo is AMAZING! I’m an active mom of a 1-year-old and this product allows me to work out in the morning, spray some on my roots, and have fresh and just-blow-dried-looking hair in minutes! It isn’t powdery at all and doesn't leave behind residue, plus it smells INCREDIBLE! When I don’t have time to shower and wash my hair, this is the product I grab to make me feel fabulous!" —ellemorrison

Get it for dark hair tones from Amazon for $18.98. Get it for light hair tones from Amazon for $20.02 .

"Dior's Rouge Matte red lipstick in 999 makes me feel like I can conquer anything! Whenever I have a bad day, I put on some of this beautiful red lipstick. I instantly feel confident and ready to turn my bad day into the best day. I always found it difficult to find a great red lipstick to go with my red hair and fair skin, but I swear, this one goes with ANYTHING!!!" —Yolande S.

26.A bright hair color to leave you feeling as bold on the inside as you look on the outside.

"I've always felt normal and boring, but in my first year of middle school it took a turn for the worse. I fell into a deep depression and started self-harming, but one day I decided, 'You know what, I want to change my hair color.' My mom and I ordered some purple and blue hair dye and colored all of my hair. I felt so happy when I looked in the mirror and saw myself. I've tried blues, pinks, purples, and greens, but my favorite color to do by far is red. There's something about it that makes me feel untouchable." —tammybingbongguidry

People swear by Arctic Fox Vegan Semipermanent Hair Dye — it has over 1,000 five star reviews on Amazon. Plus, it's animal-friendly and is as good for your body as it is for your mood, since it's free of nasty chemicals.

"Whenever I feel frumpy, I put on some lipstick in a non-traditional color." —mhutchinson317

Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle comes in all kinds of cool colors, from greens to purples to blues, and makes your lips feel all soft and smooth. Full disclosure, I'm wearing the purple shade, "One Of The Boyz," as I write this, and I do in fact feel like a boss.

30.Tarte Maracuja Oil, which just might convince you to join the no-makeup movement with its moisturizing magic.

"I'm in my 30s and I've finally started to embrace not wearing makeup (I used to do a full face DAILY, without fail). I enjoy moisturizing my skin and this oil is my all-time fave product. I put it on my lips and nails before bed, too. I don’t have the greatest skin, but popping on some of this in the morning makes me feel luxurious and pampered, plus it smells so natural." —paix420
